Still counts! Poor, eager, young, and a bit geeky: C64 was made for those that fell into this category.

Umm, yeah…I was going to let this go but “Microsoft Update” is a later, more annoying though perhaps necessary turn of events. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Service_pack https://microsoft.fandom.com/wik

You mean…service packs?

That hasn’t been true for some time. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/deploying/nati... The reason to dislike .NET is Microsoft’s now weak engineering. Their cloud team has negative impact o

Idiot employers; only exceeded in idiocy by white nationalists targeting the easy (and non-issue) targets.

In the US—and I dare say most of the world—these are understood as not mutually exclusive. Only certain toxic personalities and cultures think otherwise.

No, try the institutions telling you what’s happening in real time. Only one party and one segment of society supported the Chicago school of economics. The billionaires and aspiring billionaires are the ones that put us in this trap. The t

Thiel chose an easy target, and opened the door to destroying journalism. As un-American as it gets but hey, he’s the right color with legal bundles of cash; so much for our cherished, upper to middle-class institutions.

The heart of the matter is that any licensing and exclusivity rights to our food supply is counter to our interests. For farmers, the right to grow breeds of crops unencumbered by enforceable contracts is what the public expects. The except

Working as intended. Though Peter Thiel will do his utmost to further destroy journalists, I’m sure.

Why is a privately owned hotel compelled to deal with controversy not of its making? Perhaps things work differently for those of South African persuasion…

I think the problem is that it wasn’t just used merely as a placeholder, but to hard shutdown any discussions—often started by lay persons—about possibilities that didn’t involve brand new particle physics. I still recall how neutrinos and

Have you assessed the size of United Healthcare? The number of paper pushers and executives is sustained by your premium.

It doesn’t have to be this way, but the cost is performance (and falling behind competitors).

Are those NDAs enforceable? That’s a major governance gap and problem if so.

Given the absence of other data, I’d say the lack of consequences is the driver. https://www.macrotrends.net/4694/new-york-city-area-unemploy... NYC even before covid was renter friendly and difficult to evict, so thin

Not knowing anything, I’d be afraid of the quality control.

Not that it was altruism, but I do have thank the early adopters on HN on the pros and cons of GLP-1s. It’s been quite effective even on the lowest doses. At some point I need to try the cheaper oral medications as its only a matter of time

Over 50s me would love to do this. Though perhaps not on the schedule this work demands.

It doesn’t have to be writing. At least one culture used ropes and knots.

Your PM Netanyahu is a disaster. Your religious hardliners seem to love him. Even someone neutral to sympathetic can’t help but look on in disgust at your PM and his supporters. Edit: The point being that it tarnishes everything that Israel

For humans, I wonder if population size and density is also a factor. That is, if there’s a critical mass and population size.

We have counter examples of human pods that never really achieved “civilization”. What’s missing that make them more akin to orcas or wolves?

Humans are one of a handful species equipped to change their immediate environment to suit their needs, across virtually every environment, and introduce stability. Beyond that… Being able to have down time seems like a prerequisite to crea

I posited that one as a question. Naive and stupid, but it was downvoted and flagged away into oblivion with zero chance for a conversation.

Wrong. HN has been speculating on how wealth would be extracted from 401k and IRAs at least since the November elections in 2024. Far before any influencers even thought this would be a thing. I thought forced cryptocurrency funds, but it
